Rapper Kanye West debuted a music video for his single, "Famous," Friday night to an audience of 8,000 fans in Inglewood, California. The video features 12 celebrities, all fully nude, reclining on a giant bed together.

All 12 are presumed to be waxworks, as none of the celebrities shown have admitted to posing for the video and one — Taylor Swift — has rapidly denied her participation. In addition to Swift, the lifelike figures are of George W. Bush, Donald Trump, Anna Wintour, Chris Brown, Kim Kardashian West, Ray J, Amber Rose, Caitlyn Jenner, Bill Cosby, and Rihanna.
